Title: Multi-coloured, patterned flooring and process of manufacture thereof
Inventor: HECKEL KLAUS
IPC: D06N7/00
Filed: 1993-08-12
Granted: 1999-02-02
Abstract: ABSTRACT      A multi-coloured, patterned flooring consists of a web of a first colour and a differently coloured granulate which is embedded into the web in an essentially even distribution at least at the surface of the web.  The web and the granulate are made of cross linkable elastomers. The granulate includes at least two fractions of particles which have colours different from one another and from the web.  The amounts and colours of the particles in the fractions are selected such that the mixed colour achievable upon homogeneous mixing of all components of the flooring essentially corresponds to the first colour.  This permits the complete recycling of edge clippings and production left-overs for the manufacture of the same flooring without color deviations in the base material of the web.  A process for the manufacture of this type of flooring is also disclosed.

Title: Use of oxidase inhibitor with dextromethorphan to treat intractable coughing and dermatitis
Inventor: SMITH RICHARD A
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 1994-01-26
Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: This invention discloses a method for increasing the effectiveness of dextromethorphan (DM) in treating either severe coughing or dermatitis which do not respond to other drug treatments. This method involves the administration, to a patient who is an extensive metabolizer of dextromethorphan and who is suffering from severe coughing or dermatitis, of dextromethorphan along with a second agent that inhibits the enzymatic activity of debrisoquin hydroxylase (also called sparteine monooxygenase, cytochrome P450DB, and cytochrome P450-2D6). Quinidine is an especially potent inhibitor of enzymatic DM oxidation, but it is not well tolerated by everyone. Other antioxidants which are less potent and better tolerated by some patients include quinine, yohimbine, fluoxetine, haloperidol, ajmaline, lobeline, and pipamperone.  Since people have major variations in their oxidative enzyme activities, screening tests should be undertaken under the supervision of a physician to select a preferred antioxidant for each particular patient. In tests described herein, patients suffering from intractable coughing or dermatitis which did not respond adequately to any other safe and non-addictive drugs reported excellent results and virtually complete elimination of their coughing or dermatitis. In addition, the treated patients did not report any adverse side effects such as drowsiness, fatigue, or nausea.

Abstract: A releasable joint connects an upright (10) and a transverse brace (16) in an aluminum scaffold frame. A horizontal aluminum flange (12) is attached to the upright (10) and an aluminum connector (18) to the brace (16). The connector (18) has a mouth (50) which receives the flange (12). A steel wedge (20) is inserted through a vertical passage (52) in the connector (18) and an opening (28) in the flange (12). The opening (28) contains a vertical, planar wedge-seating surface (36) of uniform horizontal cross section. The connector (18) contains a pair of parallel, planar wedge-seating surfaces (54, 56), one above and one below the flange (12). These surfaces (54, 56) extend downwardly and radially outwardly relative to the upright (10) at a predetermined angle relative to vertical and have uniform horizontal cross sections. The wedge (20) has a vertical edge surface (64) that mates with the wedge-seating surface (36) in the opening (28) and a pair of edge surfaces (66, 68) inclined at the predetermined angle and mated with the wedge-seating surfaces (54, 56) in the connector (18). The various mated surfaces slide relative to one another as the wedge (20) is forcefully inserted or released from the joint, reducing wear. The wedge (20) also forces the connector (18) downwardly against the flange (12), during wedge (20) insertion, ensuring that the joint is reliably locked.
